The development was confirmed by the IPL organisers in a statement.
Behrendorff, a left-arm pacer, has featured in 11 ODIs and seven T20Is for Australia so far.
This is Behrendorff’s second IPL stint after having represented Mumbai Indians in 2019. He played five matches and picked up as many wickets at that time.
Hazlewood had earlier decided to withdraw from the T20 cash-rich league to take a small break from cricket and keep himself fresh for the Ashes and the T20 World Cup later this year.
Hazlewood, 30, played three games for CSK in the last season of IPL when the tournament was staged in the UAE in late 2020.
